How corrupted? Where were you trying to place the song?

All I did was convert to an MML then open the program, loaded the rom, loaded the MML and clicked the import button.  That's it.  What else am I doing wrong?

What happened to your ROM after importing it? Did you change any of the fields?

The rom expanded to over 5MB, then upon opening it in snes9x it was just a black screen with rom corrupt flashed when opened.  Like I said, I only opened the rom, selectred my mml, and then clicked the import button.  Nothing else.

There's a reason why I asked if you changed the fields. By default, RS3ExTool prepares to insert a song to $400000 and song slot $80.
By the way, it doesn't seem to really be designed to insert songs into unexpanded space. (It doesn't get the bank number right in the SPC pointers.)

I still don't get why songs won't play correctly.  After looking at the sequence in the RS3 rom they are garbage.  They aren't even proper format.

This is what pops up...

What kind of garbage do you get? Are you inserting commands into the MML?

Where does it say to insert commands into the MML, I must have missed that part.  So, rather than continue this merry-go-round topic direction can we just get a simple start to finish guide with screenshots at getting the most rudimentary import done?  I don't own a Japanese Windows or know to read it anyway to be able to figure out this program.  Its obvious someone has got it to work. 

 :bah: :lame:

Here is a simple midi and here is what tinymm.exe converted it to.  What else does this need to be imported?

 :sad: Sorry for not explaining it completely. The converted midis aren't going to have the necessary commands like instrument selection, tempo, etc. Place the commands listed in the first post or at the article I linked to in the channels.  Try expanding your ROM first.
I'm not too good with creating a tutorial.

Did you import that into FF3us directly?

Pretty much the same boat we're in. It's a shame too, I was really hoping this program would be the breakthrough we needed to include some music from games that don't use the same SPC core as FF6 in Pandora's Box.

I don't really have the time to help right now. Are you setting up the channel commands correctly? If you haven't already, look at actual songs in the games or provided MML's for guidance.

Given that we have nothing to go on, probably not.

We have looked at the data, which is why we were hoping the program would help us. This entire experience has been one giant frustrating head vs wall...
